Nanea (nah-nay-ah)

The Hawaiian Dictionary defines nanea as 1.  Of absorbing interest; fascinating, enjoyable, repose, leisure, tranquility, relaxed... 2. an instrument of pleasure

And she is.... 

Just overlook Connor's cheesy smile.  It's much better to catch him off-guard, since this is his "cheese" face.  :)  I think he takes the "say cheese" thing a little too literally... which I never say "say cheese", but I digress.

Ahhh... I'm not really even a cat person (well, maybe I am becoming more of a cat person since I seem to be collecting cats at this point.)  Nanea sort of adopted us. She came up to me and wouldn't leave me alone.  She kept crying and meowing and begging to be petted.  Maybe that should have been a clue that she's a big talker!  Jack says it's because she's a girl... humph.... but this cat talks ALL the time....  except when she's sleeping.

I think this is her, "I've had enough" pose.  

Either that or she is flipping me the bird and her middle digit just isn't long enough to differentiate from the others.  

I'm not really sure.

But I think she's just trying to get some peace.  

I understand your feelings here, Nanea. I can't get any peace around here either.  I understand that you have to sleep as much as you can when the kids are gone.  Sorry, I will leave you alone now.
